Recall of Sesame Seeds due to Salmonella Contamination

The FSAI has issued a food alert to confirm that Salmonella has been detected in a batch of sesame seeds, supplied via the UK to three retail chains (Supervalu,Superquinn, Tesco Ireland) in the Republic of Ireland. The batches have been withdrawn from sale by the supermarkets but consumers who may have already purchased the seeds should not eat the seeds, and should dispose of them or return them to the supermarket. The type of Salmonella present has not yet been identified and has not been detected in most of the samples taken; but if present could cause illness if the seeds are eaten raw.
